    • Molly J
       
      Laura Ingles Wilders family had to buils log cabins whenever they moved
  • Log cabins required few building resources, just trees and an axe or saw. They didn't need metal nails or spikes to hold them together and they could be built fairly quickly, too. Most log cabins were simple one room buildings where the entire family would live. Once the farm was up and running, settlers often built bigger homes or added on to the existing log cabin.

      It only took her dad a few days to build the log cabin but they had to use natural tools to buils them.

  • One of the first things that the pioneers had to do was clear a plot of land where the house could be built. They would also want some space around the home where they could plant a garden, build a barn, and keep some animals like chickens. Sometimes they had to cut down trees and remove stumps to clear the land. Of course, then the trees could be used to build their log cabin.

      They all had to often help with the yard work before building the house in "Little House In The Big Woods"
